Random Thoughts XII - This Thread Delivers

Not when you graduated before the song even came out.

I was just commenting to my husband how back in our day we passed out little quarter slips of paper with our reception info either typed out (if you were fancy) or handwritten dates/times. Now they do photo announcements. Daughter says there is a wall up at school where you can post your announcement--meaning anyone can go to your party?

Personally I love graduation season. #FreeFood

I fail to see how it is free if you are bringing a gift to every graduation party.

HVAC guy added about 3 lbs of freon. He says there is most likely a leak in the a coil. That's about $1,500 to replace. He says with a 20 year old system I should think about just replacing the whole unit.

He's right.

The good news is that you can get a pretty fine a.c. and furnace for a fairly reasonable price.

Yea, hes gonna put together some estimates and email me. This will at least keep it working as it would be over a month to get a new unit in as this is the busiest time of year.

It is if you were going to give the kid a gift regardless of whether there is a party or not.

I still need to finish a paper but that will just be me reading it once or twice more and then putting in citations

Ours was Free Bird -- Lynyrd Skynyrd

The motto you had at graduation was free Byrd?

Edit: after reading the rest I’m guessing this was class song. We didn’t have a class song.

I’m giving unfunded target gift cards, so it’s just the gas I spend to go pick up a box of them. So maybe a quarter astop?

Had one of those on Sunday. Chatted with one of the neighbors behind me, he was bagging leaves and stuff. He says "I don't know if you have talked with M (the wife) but I'm not living here anymore." Went on to tell me about living in an apartment and pending divorce. Could totally tell by his tone and body language this was not his choice. Gave me a bad flashback to I know that feeling.

$5k should get you a good furnace and a/c. We just replaced the furnace last fall as it was pretty much impossible to fix and at least 20 years old. The A/C is only 10ish years old so we let it ride.

As far as grad parties go it is as close to free as you can get. Usually good food that is sometimes catered and we bring a $20 gift card that I feed the three of us plus desert. #winning

We got estimates from several companies and there was a price difference of several thousand dollars between them. Watch out!

Valiant effort today until rain delayed at 8:15pm. Oh well see what happens tonight and see what tomorrow brings.

Had the CR airport share the FB event on their page and I have gone from one registered attendee to 7 since 3 PM. I limited it to 20 people but now I am afraid of walk ins and people registering their kids when it is an event for adults.

I can guarantee that if my wife made me leave, she’d be bagging her own leaves.

Thanks! And nope! Wisconsin actually has a rule where if you graduate from Marquette or Wisconsin with a certain gpa and have taken the right classes, you don’t need to take the bar exam to be admitted. I meet those requirements and I have a job in Wisconsin lined up for after graduation, so i’ll never need to take the bar!

I think that means you're like, not even a real lawyer. Like a doctor who didn't take boards. Fake lawyer!
